What Are Pacific Coast NOAA Charts?
Pacific Coast NOAA charts are official maritime maps historically produced by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to chart the western coastline of the United States. These charts provide detailed hydrographic information including depth soundings, shoreline features, channels, and harbor layouts from Washington to California. While these printed charts are no longer updated for active navigation, they remain valuable as reference materials and decorative pieces capturing the maritime geography of the Pacific Coast.
